Los Nogales

We made an electro magnet by winding about 25' of insulated, twisted copper wire around an 24" X 2" soft steel core. We hooked the leads to the winding up to a 6 volt @ 40 amp battery charger for a power source. The magnet was a great success! It would hold a railroad spike easy, maybe a lot more.

For lunch we pulled some turnip greens from the garden and made sloppy joes with ground beef from the steer we killed last year. We cooked and ate outside. Davy said it was a very good day.
